The Scopium YJ-42 children's microscope is an ideal choice for beginners, as it can be used to observe not only prepared slides but also small objects. Essentially a biological microscope, it helps explore the tissues and cells of living organisms, including the components of blood. Its versatility is further enhanced by the ability to place small items, such as coins or pebbles, beneath the objectives.
The microscope features adjustable lower and upper LED illumination. Lower illumination is essential for examining prepared slides, while upper illumination is useful for inspecting the surfaces of small objects.
The glass achromatic 4×, 10× and 40× objectives provide sharp, detailed images. The basic package includes two eyepieces: with the 10× version, magnifications of 40×, 100× and 400× can be achieved. The other, 16× eyepiece provides 64×, 160× and 640× magnification. The microscope has a 23.2 mm diameter focuser, allowing a compatible camera to be attached later.
Not only do the optical components surpass those of toy microscopes in quality, but the unit's metal housing also promises long-lasting use. It is primarily powered by a 230 V mains supply, but can also be easily used in the field with AA batteries or rechargeable batteries.
The microscope is guaranteed to keep children interested in the microworld engaged for a long time!
